Excellent communication. Great photos. I had to be away in Colorado and it was so good to have the dogs walked while at a friends house. Cora is still potty training and I really needed the help. You can also tell Stephanie really loves dogs.

Susan was great. She sent us pics of playing ball with Lexi while we were at the beach and Lexi seemed to really like her. Susan was on time and a pleasure to work with. We hope to use her much more this summer!

About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds, including my own dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and rats, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and care needs. Beyond my own pets, I’ve regularly helped friends and colleagues with dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’ve also completed pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight house-sitting for clients I acquired from other caregiving platforms. My background as a preschool teacher has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to read nonverbal cues—skills that translate naturally to working with animals, especially those who are shy, energetic, or need extra reassurance. I’m respectful of both pets and homes, and I always aim to keep routines consistent so animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently employed full-time Monday through Friday at a nonprofit serving the local community. I’m free on weekends, occasionally before or after work as my schedule permits, for overnights, and for potty breaks; however they would be every 8+ hours, which can be very long for some dogs. Please send me a message if you think I might be able to help and I’ll let you know my exact availability for you! Safety, security, and comfort are my top priorities, hands down. I will follow your instructions, and I will treat your pet as if they are my own child, ensuring gates and doors are secured, dangerous items are out of reach, and there are no areas for escape. I will also see that they have fun and feel loved!

About: I grew up always having a dog and other pets in our home. I absolutely love animals! When I was 19 I got my first dog on my own, Kyla she was a yellow lab and the love of my life. I currently have 2 Belgian Malinois- Cali and Bruin. I've worked training with them and another German Shepherd. I've also volunteered with MSPCA in the past. I would love to help in any way needed to keep your four legged friend happy and safe. I am experienced in many different breeds of dogs. Whether it's puppies or elderly dogs I have experience with both and I always care for them as I do my own! Walking, running, playing, feeding, brushing, cleanup or even belly rubs! I love caring for animals! :) I am currently working part-time as a PCA, doing in home private care. Prior, I was full-time for 10 years with a woman who suffered a TBI. I am very flexible with my daily schedule as I can move my work hours around to fit my dog's clients needs. I don't bring dog's I am caring for to my house, as mine get too worked up! I can care for pet's in their home/yard and walk them from there. I also take some dogs to different trails, hikes, and dog parks. All up to the owner's preference! I am happy to do what works best :)

About: I have had experience with dogs for over 20 years. I have a 6 year old black lab of my own, Mako. Mako is friendly and loves other dogs. I love to throw the ball, go to the dog park, the beach, long walks and even have your pup swim in my lake in my back yard! I have a big lawn that your furry friend will enjoy. If they love the car I’d love a partner in crime during my daily errands. I love all kinds of dogs, big or small, short or tall! I am looking forward to hearing from you and your furry friend! Mako comes everywhere besides work with me! Whether I’m running errands, going to the grocery store or even just going to get coffee I always have my copilot with me! I have a good size yard and live on a pond. It is set back from the main road! If your pup likes to swim he or she will love it!

About: I am a huge animal person (grew up on a farm) and am very tolerant of every type of dog and animal. I am always looking for an excuse to be more active, and am comfortable with pets of every size, shape, and age. I am more than happy to cater to any specific instructions you have for me, as I am quite meticulous and detail-oriented. Reliable transportation, so I am able to accommodate most services in the Cape Cod area (and others per request). I can't wait to meet your dogs and make some new furry friends! I work in the local area and am happy to fit your pet's care into my schedule. All I ask for is open communication in advance to properly set up appointments. I am very used to gaining the trust of pets across the spectrum, and have extensive house- and pet-sitting experience. Having a friendly relationship with animals is my top priority.

About: I currently work at an animal hospital, so I’m used to taking care of both cats and dogs. My own dog was diabetic so I’m used to administering insulin shots. I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible. I grew up with a dog and currently have a cat so I understand needing someone reliable to take care of your fur baby or babies.

About: Hi my name is Kendall, I’m looking to spend time with your furry four legged friends! I am an avid animal lover and have grown-up around animals my entire life. From cats to dogs, from guinea pigs to turtles I’ve had them all as pets and cared for them whole heartedly. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors and friends all through high school and college. I currently own a dachshund mix and love him dearly. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs walking, bushing, and playing with them. I do send text and picture updates of owner’s dogs upon request. Feel free to send me a message if you’re in need of a pet sitter or dog walker. I have a full time IT job working from home, but the flexibility in my schedule allowed me to check on your pets or bring my work with me on my phone. I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your dog, I am very attentive to my surroundings. Your pet is in good hands with me.

I thought it was awesome that Brian took the time to come over and meet me and my dog prior to their first walk together. My dog instantly took to Brian. Brian was dependable, positive and conscientious. It felt great knowing Radar was in good hands while I worked a few long days in a row.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with family pets and quickly realizing how much I love working with animals. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience not only with my own dogs but also helping friends and relatives with theirs. I worked at a dog daycare for almost 2 years, where I learned how to handle different breeds, personalities, and energy levels every single day. During that time, I also completed a Pet First Aid class, which gave me the confidence to respond in case of emergencies and keep pets safe. Besides that I truly enjoy giving dogs the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just making them feel comfortable when their owners are away. My goal is always to make every pup feel happy, safe, and cared for like part of the family. I currently work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. During the week I’m available from about 9:30am to 3:00pm and again from 5:30pm until around 8:00pm. On weekends I’m available all day, which makes it easier for longer visits, walks or extra playtime. Boarding is something I can only offer on weekends when I’m home full time to give dogs the attention they need:). I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and loved whether they’re at my home or theirs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks and meals according to their routine. I also keep a close eye on their health and behavior, making sure they’re happy and safe at all times. For longer stays or boarding, I create a calm and welcoming environment so dogs can feel at home and cared for like family.

Just wanted to say thank you for walking Clarence while I have been out of town. It was such a relief that he was getting a good, consistent walk break (and some love!) during the day till my son could be with him in the evenings. We loved all the pictures — you are a very talented pet photographer! Thank you so much. We will surely book with you again!!
